Vuelta a España - Stage 9: September 8 Alicante - Murcia

Gerdemen takes off.

 

[ak-zaaf]

Pérez is leading now. Probably to try and discourage Gerdemann. He seems like he's not doing well.

Gerdemann is very nervous. Perez will catch up with him in his steady pace me thinks.

/Fuglsang, Fuente and Gerrans in the counterattack.

Gerdemann is very nervous. Perez will catch up with him in his steady pace me thinks.

I'd say Gerdemann is the one with the nice pace.

 

[ak-zaaf]

I'd say Gerdemann is the one with the nice pace.

He seems shaky, might collapse.

And there goes Vino!

 

[taiwan]

If Fuglsang attacks like that Gerdemann's going to be caught soon

Vino goes.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Vino!! Go Vino!!
He can descend too !

 

[krebs303]

Vino goes!

 

[issoisso]

Gerdemann has no chance now

 

[issoisso]

And he'll be caught in a few seconds, I bet

 

[taiwan]

I want to see Gerdemann salvage something from the season.
They're waiting for a sprint? Would have thought Gerrans would be trying on the climb.

 

[issoisso]

After over 2 years as a pro, Intxausti finally shows somethihg, ANYTHING worthwhile. Finally. He was a huge prospect but he's been such a disappointment so far.

 

[Bala Verde]

Group of 7 on the flat?

Gurdemenn, Tsxiuotsxiki, Vino, Hesjedal, Gerrans, DDLF, Birdsong...

 

[issoisso]

Puncture! How unlucky

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Intxausti so unlucky.
shocking descent. roads are tiny.

 

[taiwan]

The descent. Gerdemann stays away. Has to hold 10 odd seconds over theflat before the finish, though.

 

[ak-zaaf]

bye bye linus

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

lol Gerdemen too

 

[Bala Verde]

I guess Vino will demonstrate his trade mark 1-2K attack before the finish?

 

[issoisso]

Bye Gerdemann. Who's the group? Vino, Hesjedal, Gerrans and Fuglsang?

If it comes down to a sprint, Gerrans wins

lol Gerdemen too

"Gerdemann"

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

^ don't care

Go vino!!

SS having a go on the descent

 

[ak-zaaf]

Valverde and Sanchez in the attack??!?

Evans with Valv and SS according to Wuyts. And I trust in Wuyts.

Yes, I saw Evans there.

Also Gesink. And what LOOKS like a Liquigas. not sure. And more riders from other teams.

interesting split. they are all there i think.

 

[issoisso]

Yup, Basso is also there.

This looks like a sprint. If that's the case, Gerrans wins, it's no question.

 

[ak-zaaf]

Hesjedal and Gerrans wanting the sprint.

...euh, what the hell is Hoogerland doing?
